Usage

For a larger team this reads far better than a grid of portraits, because names and roles align instead of drifting with bio length.

  • Use rows past about ten people; the grid stops scanning.
  • Keep the location column right-aligned so it forms a clean edge.

Variants and states

Every entry below is a genuine difference in behaviour or layout, and every one of them is visible in the preview above.

  • Row layout
  • Location column
  • Member count

Accessibility

List semantics
Rows are list items with a labelled count.
Reflow
The location moves under the name on narrow screens rather than truncating.

Foundry implements published ARIA patterns and is tested against them. No WCAG certification is claimed — see the accessibility documentation for what is and is not covered.
